River, I'd say 20% of my gain is due to takeover speculation. Barclays recent target upgrade to $100 helped also earnings and sales Q/Q were somewhat impressive. In the long run SODA is about as secure an investment as a bushel of pet rocks.

KORS on the other hand appears to be a bargain with its lack of response to killer earnings. It is #1 in earnings growth of 42 apparel companies with no real close 2nd. Forming a handle to go with a cup, this baby is ripe and a youngster as a company.

I like KORS. Company has great fundamentals and the chart is setting up very nicely. This could go off like a rocket. Where would you place your entry point?

It's all takeover speculation.

I'll try to highlight one stock each week if one really looks good. This week's pick is CBZ from Cleveland. They provide business services such as insurance and benefit packages to small and medium sized companies throughout the U.S. and also in Toronto Can.

Here are some of the standout fundies : PEG .89, Forward P/E 9.24, Price/Sales .43, Price/Book 1.07, Forward cash flow 7.07, Currently above 20,50,200 moving averages. CBZ is rated a strong buy with a steadily improving EPS over the last 9 months.

Current price 6.65 with support at 6.51 and resistance at 6.79 my target is 9

Here is a 3 month chart. If it can break 6.79 it may run.

Glad I held AMBA and KORS through earnings. SODA also has had it's target increased to $100 by analyst Barclays. Currently up 30.81% on AMBA, 37.88% on SODA and around 20% on KORS. KORS destroyed earnings estimates, dipped a little forming a nice handle w/cup so I bought more today. AMBA up over 10% afterhours after earnings report.

Well so much for SAM. It hit 170 then had a bad earnings report. Now it's back to where it started at the beginning of this thread.

[billyjoe]

SAM is looking good at 160. SODA also has been showing signs of life staying in the 50 range. Not so with JAZZ back to levels last seen in mid December 2012.

SODA is up 3.26% from yesterday. Here are 4 more stocks recovering nicely from yesterday's triple whammy of tax day, gold drop, Boston terrorism.

AMBA--up 5.73% holding steady in the 13.50-14 range.

KKR---up 4.59% resting near 20. Poised for a jump

OME---up 3.73% at 10-10.50 and wondering which way to go.

MTD--up 3.02% staying above 200 is important until market steadies.

I own all except SAM and JAZZ . Will keep updating.

[em26jamie]

Well SAM is back up to 160 from 147 since I posted it. The earnings miss didn't kill it. I still think it's going higher. JAZZ earnings tonight?

SODA and SAM both beat on earnings estimates and still tanked. Third victim, JAZZ is yet to post earnings.

Bille if JAZZ tanks ......ya could say you have a Grand Slam!
